IL-FABP Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Product Description: The polyclonal antibody recognizes mouse ileal fatty acid binding protein (IL-FABP or I-LBP) of both natural and recombinant origin. The IL-FABP protein is derived from the mouse FABP6 gene. FABPs are small intracellular proteins (~13-14 kDa) with a high degree of tissue specificity that bind long chain fatty acids. They are abundantly present in various cell types and play an important role in the intracellular utilization of fatty acids, transport and metabolism. There are at least nine distinct types of FABP, each showing a specific pattern of tissue expression. Due to its small size, FABP leaks rapidly out of ischemically damaged necrotic cells leading to a rise in serum levels. Ischemically damaged tissues are characterized histologically by absence (or low presence) of FABP facilitating recognition of such areas. IL-FABP is localized in the intestine, ovary, adrenals and stomach.

Small volumes of anti-IL-FABP antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
